Installing

Extract MegaCLI from the RPM:$rpm2cpio MegaCli-2.00.15-1.i386.rpm|cpio-idmv

Put in the /opt:
$ sudo mv opt/MegaRAID /opt

Done.

We will have MegaCli64 and MegaCli applications. If you see the zip file, it contains another file: Lib_Utils-1.00-08.noarch.rpm. This file contains binaries of sysfsutils version 2.0.2 and source code version 2.2.0. For security and convinient, I stick with the binary distribution from Debian/Ubuntu.
